    "Very intense herbal note. Rather reminiscent of a (very good) rum from Saint Lucia."

    "VĂ©ritable mythe parmi les rhums jamaĂŻcains, ce Long Pond offre une expĂ©rience unique en son genre. Le voyage olfactif dĂ©bute sur une Ă©tonnante fraĂźcheur florale, des notes herbacĂ©es et de l’olive. Le boisĂ© est fin malgrĂ© le compte d’ñge trĂšs avancĂ©. Les Ă©pices se manifestent avec une pointe de vanille et de rĂ©glisse qui vient chatouiller les narines. On retrouve Ă©galement les esters, la colle, le vernis, mais aussi les agrumes et les fruits tropicaux (banane, ananas) et une touche pĂątissiĂšre. Il y a un trĂšs bel Ă©quilibre aromatique, c’est Ă  la fois trĂšs Ă©lĂ©gant et complexe. L’aĂ©ration lui fait du bien. L’attaque en bouche est absolument exquise. Les Ă©pices viennent rapidement pour relever le palais, puis arrivent les fruits exotiques, qui s’estompent assez rapidement pour laisser place Ă  une myriade d’autres saveurs. Les notes mĂ©dicinales et funky sont particuliĂšrement Ă©lĂ©gantes et fines en bouche, au mĂȘme titre que le chĂȘne, le cuir et ce cĂŽtĂ© empyreumatique qui se dĂ©veloppe sur le bacon, le caoutchouc et des notes de fumĂ©. On conserve Ă©galement une touche vĂ©gĂ©tale et herbacĂ©e qui apporte de la fraĂźcheur. C’est un rhum raffinĂ©, Ă  la texture singuliĂšre, qui croustille et pĂ©tille en bouche. L’alcool est remarquablement conservĂ©. La finale dure aussi longtemps que le vieillissement de ce rhum, sur un boisĂ© fin mais relevĂ© par les Ă©pices (poivre, vanille). Les tanins s’immiscent en bouche pour apporter cette chaleur et cette sĂ©cheresse, contrastĂ©e par les fruits (tropicaux et secs) et la fraĂźcheur qui persiste. Le cĂŽtĂ© funky reste Ă©galement en bouche. Un vĂ©ritable monument du monde du rhum, qui n’est pas aussi marquĂ© que d’autres cuvĂ©es mais qui demeure d’une subtilitĂ© incroyable, Ă©quilibrĂ© et ultra complexe."

    "This rum burns into the beginning but after a short while in your mouth it releases an explotion of taste. A very well balanced rum where the alcohol doesn't dominate but integrates well. "
